Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a suede cleaner according to product instructions, then brush.

Color transfer from suede

This can sometimes occur with new suede. Ensure the shoes are dry. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until color transfer is no longer an issue. Consider a suede protectant spray.

Fit feels slightly tight

Try wearing them with thinner socks. If the issue persists, consider using a shoe stretcher designed for suede and mesh.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with a similar style or a more durable alternative. Ensure they are not tied too tightly.
